Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods healthy?
There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. Organic food is healthier since it doesn't include any harmful chemicals.
In supermarkets all over North America, Europe Asia, Latin America, Latin America, and Africa, you can find organic food. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.
Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.
The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are currently more than 30,000,000 acres of US farmland which have been designated organic.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. Organic food can be purchased in most grocery stores across the United States.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. The market value of organic food in the US was $43 billion in 2012, up from $21 billion in 2007.
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. You may also find products that are labeled as "natural", which could contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.
What are my top priorities when buying organic products
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment, the udder, is where milk comes from.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.
Which organic vegetables are best?
Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are the healthiest of all foods.
Organic produce is produced without pesticides or herbicides. These chemicals pose grave risks for our health and the environment.
Organic produce also has more nutrients, vitamins minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. They also contain more fibre, essential fatty acids, enzymes, fiber, and enzymes. They are healthier as we absorb nutrients more easily when we eat organics.
Organic vegetables taste delicious and are safe for you to eat. There are no known side effects associated with consuming organic produce.
Every grocery store will carry organic fruit and vegetables. As long as they are produced according to USDA guidelines (which means they meet the standards set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture), they are labelled "organic." If you cannot find organic produce at your local grocery store, check out online retailers such as Amazon or Walmart.
What is an Organic Food Producer?

Organic food production is only possible on farms where the crops are grown naturally. This includes soil preparation, crop rotation, and pest management.

These guidelines help consumers access healthy, safe and nutritious foods.
The benefits of eating organic range from lower levels of pesticide residues and heavy metal contamination to higher nutrient content and better flavour.
USDA certified organic products must bear the USDA Certified Organic label.
This certification means that the product meets the standards laid down by the National Organic Program.

How To
What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It's usually used to describe foods not processed into their final form (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
